You can spend 6 billion per year now or 60 billion more per year on defence if Ukraine lose the war + you will have obsolete weapons after Ukraine cut knowledge transfer. Merz and big part of Europe understand this

Notice that Zelensky pointed out "Real leaders". As opposed to whom one might wonder 😊....

It is good that a swedish conservative think tank is not deciding on swedish safety rules on our roads. How much have Elon Musk sponsored you? Det är tur att Timbro inte ansvarar för trafiksäkerhet! Hur mycket har Elon Musk sponsrat er?

Det finns en populär, men ihålig, föreställning om att rysk upprustning drivs av västlig upprustning. Problemet är bara att väst rustade ned i 30 år till ~2020-22 och det gjorde inget för att påverka rysk upprustning. Om det och annat i P3 Dystopia: Om kriget kommer 2.

A (not) shocking UN report about Russian sexual violence against civilians in Ukraine👇. The same Russian government that Alex Ovechkin proudly supports. Let's all pledge to not watch a minute of the @NHL this season until he is gone. @ovi8 @Capitals ukraine.ohchr.org/en/UN-Human-...

Great article!

Alice Weidel, you come from a country that killed 5 MILLION civilians in Ukraine during WW2. Are you completely crazy???

Most useful idiot ever. History might repeat itself. Hitler would be proud of Afd. Anyone remember "Nacht der langen Messer" when Hitler got rid of the homosexual SA leader?

“Trump, just like a dictator, seems to be blaming the collapse of morale on sailors who have been pushed to the breaking point.” ✍️ Brynn Tannehill

Who would invade Canada, JD? Greenland? Or are you telling us that Russia is actually a threat that we need to take seriously, because then I'm confused about the messaging from your boss?

Interesting especially about Europe having less AI making it a risk diversifier.

Trump shares a depressing amount of traits with the main character in The Dictator. Obsessing over gold decor, micromanaging warship designs, and staging his own golf victories is beyond pathetic

The only way to repair Brexit damage is to rejoin 😊. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great convo with @philrosenn last week which will give some pause to even the most ardent AI bull, assuming of course they are open minded to a different perspective. youtu.be/5A31-zjB_9E?...

Trump family crypto earnings: $1.4 billion $TRUMP meme coin: -98% $MELANIA meme coin: -99% “Perhaps the most blatant example of corruption in the history of American politics.” — Bilello

hey look the bros are ok with universal healthcare now

But then US backtracked on Patriot license and deliveries, and today there was a massive Ukrainian strike on Novorossiysk. Influence on targeting requires something in return.

Well, no Patriots – no port of Novorossiysk.

❗️Russian oil refining fell to 3.6 million barrels per day in July, down 150,000 bpd from June, according to Bloomberg. The report says this is Russia's lowest monthly refining rate since May 2002. For comparison, July 2021 averaged 5.59 million bpd. #Russia

🇫🇷 France has ordered the deportation of former RT France head Ksenia Fedorova, Le Monde reported. The French Interior Ministry ordered her deportation, accusing Fedorova of spreading Russian propaganda and disinformation.

The imbalance between the rich and the poor has reached a breaking point. The first trillionaire has been minted. Yet 20 states still have a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Something is fundamentally broken here.

Reading this makes one wonder, why not just join the EU again. All other options are clearly second best options.

(1/9) How China became the world's near-exclusive supplier of gallium. 🧵

"The reach of Chinese authorities has become so extensive, and the costs Beijing bears for detaining foreign citizens and operating beyond its borders have become so low, that cases like Min Zin’s are now the norm, even for U.S. citizens." www.worldpoliticsreview.com/china-transn...

30yr reals pushing back to multi-decade highs.

@anderspucknielsen.dk is right. There are so many deliberate oddities in the details that we do not know who is behind the job. The trails look like staged like a gun put in the wrong dead hand in a murder case. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf_1...

Hi All, just finished a detailed chat with Andriy Zagorodnyuk and Edward Stringer. We delved into the creation of Ukraine's new paradigm of airpower, how the mid strike campaign is working and how western militaries still have a ways to go…. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

Just a reminder that patriotism isn't holding a bible and wrapping yourself in the flag while you violate the Constitution and plunder the country. Happy 4th of July, stay cool and safe!!

Pretty big move for the Culture Secretary to leave X, saying her department will too.

Just a quick reminder that analysts *already* expect the next 5 years of earnings growth to be the most extraordinary in history.

Today, Cyprus concludes its Presidency of the Council of the European Union. For 181 days, we have led with purpose, determination and a clear vision: to give substance to Europe’s strategic autonomy and advance European independence. 👇

The Shit Returns Coming on All This AI Capex AI revenues have finally overtaken depreciation, a very low bar. Getting even a decent return on all the capex planned requires the recent 100% revenue growth rate to accelerate over the next 5 years. buff.ly/RgKyfvN

"What's in it for me?" is the most frequent question asked by americans. Has been like that for as long as anyone can remember. They never do things for free. I am OK with that 😊. US is member of NATO because it benefits them!

French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced the move as part of a push to increase European tech sovereignty. ft.trib.al/B18TW6J

This attack on Gov. Newsom represents a dangerous escalation by Trump. The President frequently calls for the jailing of his perceived enemies, but his playbook of weaponizing the Department of Justice as a personal attack dog is another level of corruption. This must stop.

The problem with how Trump floods the zone and everyone just stays in that doom loop is that you miss the important news. The Christian fundamentalists in MAGA should actually care about Russia hitting one of Christianity’s holy sites

Have you heard of Apple's decision on the rollout of Siri AI in Europe? Let's get the facts straight ⬇️

Jag medverkade idag i Aftonbladet om säkerheten kring statsministern. Tidningen bad mig kolla uppgifter och göra en bedömning med hjälp av mina skills. Helt klart är att Säpo inte haft en fullständig hotmodell efter debaclet med städpersonalen hos förra statsministern.

We've issued an interim order requiring Meta to restore free access to WhatsApp for rival AI assistants. Our ongoing antitrust investigation aims to prevent dominant platforms from shutting out smaller innovators. For a fair, competitive digital space ↓ link.europa.eu/PBmmVF

So the best Football referee of all of the African continent is not allowed to enter US? Just a complete disgrace.

What is a moral compass?

Data centers are asking just too much for too little in return. I'm pausing the release of any new data center tax incentives in Illinois — and I'm calling on the General Assembly to act in veto session to make sure data centers are paying their fair share.
